Last week, I told you about California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom’s hypocrisy as he goes after gun owners’ rights while receiving armed security to the tune of millions of tax payer dollars. Now, let’s look at it on the national level with Hillary Clinton. Clinton, who should be arrested and indictments brought for many of her crimes including those being uncovered in the Benghazi scandal, has been targeting the Second Amendment, but the irony and hypocrisy is that for decades, Mrs. Clinton has enjoyed armed security at the expense of the American taxpayers, whose rights are being targeting.

Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas for 12 years (1979-81 and 1983-1993). It seems fair to presume the governor and his wife enjoyed armed security and transport. And Bill Clinton’s departure from the office of governor coincided with his entrance into the White House, where he served as president from 1993 to 2001. Upon entering the White House, the armed security went to its highest levels, as the president and First Lady Mrs. Clinton were surrounded by defensive Secret Service teams, tactical response teams, and integrated law enforcement and military personnel wherever they went.

…

And when Bill Clinton’s second term ended in January 2001, Hillary Clinton’s first term as a U.S. Senator was just beginning. She served as a Senator (D-NY) from 2001 to 2009, which means she sat behind layers of armed security and oversight in the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington D.C. for eight years.

Once Hillary Clinton’s time as a Senator was over, she would have enjoyed the protection of the Secret Service detail that remains with her husband post-presidency. ABC News reports that that is a protective detail which President Obama revised in 2012, to be sure it protected wives of presidents and children of presidents—until age 16—as well.

The bottom line—it is safe to say Hillary Clinton has spent approximately 35 years of her life with the benefit of armed security which, in some cases, would have included the advance security work of the Secret Service. Yet her current presidential campaign is framed around taking away the same benefit for average, hardworking Americans.
